SAUERk RAUT.
Interesting Process OF Making "a
Favorfte German Dish.

Favorite German Dish.
A very interesting and important
part of sauerkraut making is the cut
ting of the cabbage, says The 50. Louis
Republican, As wine depends largely
on its age for flavor and quality so
does sauerkraut depend upon the
manner in which the cabbage is cut.
To be firm and crisp, yet tender the
cabbage must be cut in long, thin
slices. 10 chop it up fine, as could be
done much easier, would practically be
TO spoil it,, or render its value much
less. After experimenting for over
live years knife was invented which
does the work in the most satisfactory
manner. BY means Of Il shaft in the
center il is made TO rcvolve very rapid
~, and eight knives slice the cabbage
ms neat as Il butcher could y steak.
The knife can cut meat, too. as some
of the operators have found out to their
sorrow This wheel of knives is about
thirty inches in diameter. and will cut
from $4,000 to 60, pounds of
cabbage in day, depending on the
skill and energy Of the feeders.
-Four feeders work, although only one
can feed if desired. The head of cab
bare is laid on the wheel and the
pressure OF the hand causes it to disap-
pear in few seconds. Beneath the
wheel is V-shapcd chest or box into
which the cut cabbage falls. When it
is full big truck holding 400 pounds
of cabbage is showed under it, the right
side of the chest is pulled back and the
cabbage falls into the truck. The girls
who cut the cores from the cabbage
stand on platform raised about three
feet from the door below the one on
which the cabbage is unloaded.
When one of the trucks is filled it ls
pushed along gangwaY by two lusty
young men, and into big building BOX
1874 feet This is called the packing
house. Never having seen the vault of
brewery. | can't say itlooks like one,
although Judge il does. II is filled
with huge tanks 20 feet in diameter and
10 feet deep. There are twenty-eight
tanks in this building and ten in the
adjoining building 32x96 feet in dimen-
sons. Each tank holds 400 barrels Of
saucrkraut, worth nearly $1,000. Thus
the thirty-eight tanks, if only filled
once a year, contain SIS3,000 worth of
sauerkraut. In each tank are two big,
strong men wearing long rubber boots.
When truckful of cabbage is dumped
into the tank they tramp il down.
The object OF this is 10 break the
fibre sufficiently TO let out the water,

A Notable Tour.

The President is making a tour OF
recreation from his official duties,
which not a sovereign in Europe
would venture to initiate. Neither
Emperor William with Bismark's SOL
dlers at hand, nor Queen Victoria
with her body-guard, nor the Gar
with his swarm of secret police and
life-guards around him would think
OF travelling from one end Of their do
minions to the other, az our Presi-
dent has been doing for many days
without one body-guard, travelling
over thousands of miles of railroad,
having no special security nor pro-
lection, and mingling freely with
many thousands of people of all par
ties and classes, conversing with them
familiarly and freely without a
thought of insecurity, or the remotost
fear Of personal harm, or even indig-
nifty.
Start an Emperor ruler ON SINH
lar tour among his subjects and his
journey would be brought to an un-
timely end by some desperate hand
striking in behalf of millions of tax
ridden, print-ridden and over-bur-
dened people who have lost all hope
of relief from their troubles save by
violence aud armed revolution.
Bigoted and superficial foreigners
sometimes accuse Americans of
want OF regard for the land and for
their rulers. But the perfect securi-
ty with which our Presidents can
travel through all the States of the
Union is fact which proves that the
United States is to-day the most
staple and orderly government
on the earth. True thore is
a handful of crazy and
brutal Anarchist in Chicago, but
they are foreigners, BohemianS, Hun
garians and Russians, who had lost
all regard for law before they fled
from their native land. These out
laws are not Americans in any sense
of the word. The great body of
Americans, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, renew their laws, look to the
fearful ballot-box as the true means
of curing political wrongs, and TO-
day form an unsrmed life-guard
about the President on his long
Journey, surer and stronger than all
he standing armies which are gath
,red for the defense of Emperor
William, Victoria and the Car.

THE CITY OF DENVER.

The capital OF Colorado is entirely
different in every respect from what
L had pictured 1t in my mind. Isup-
posed it was rough, billy, dirty,
mining city at the foot of the noun
tGins with $4,000 or 10000 inhabitants
made up Of the toughest characters
to be found In the West. Imagine
my surprise to find it city of $4,000
people, situated on lovely plain six
teen miles from the nearest mountain,
whose snow-capped SUBMITS are to
be seen to the west.
My train stops here Ave hours and
l have awaited myself of the oppor-
tunity to see the city. At the depot
the traveller is beIet with the drivers
OF free hacks, who shove their cards
at him, which give rates, advantages,
etc., in few words and it is surpris-
ing how cheap the hotels are. The
city is full of them and the very best
charge extremely moderate prices,
while the good medium hotels charge
only $l.25 to $500 day and give ac-
commodations equal to houses that
charge twice as much in the east.
The first thing l had 10 do after eat
ing a good breakfast was to set my
watch back an hour to correspond
with the mountain time. Because
this had to be done it must not be |
supposed that Denver is slower than |
the east in other respects.

Some of the flnest are built Of stone
and Jurpass any of the best residences
to be seen in Kansas City. There is
not the crowd and jam on the streets
that we see in the latter city, but this
is due in great measure to the
width of the streets which gives more
elbow room 10 the people. Denver
is about halfthe size of Kansas City,
but it is far head of il in many res
poets. Many fine buildings are 60
ing up and the town has thrifty
booming appearance. 1t has all the
advantages and modern conveniences
to be found in other cities farther east
The people are many Of them

of that squalid poverty TO be seen in
most large places. There are iudica-
tons of wealth, culture and refinement

ly are the prettiest | have seen since

a really hOmely woman in the city.
Denver is watered by the Plat river,
a mountain stream of considerable
size. 1t is lighted by electric lights
and the high towers are stationed in
every part of the city. There are 90
public school buildings, 5 Catholic
schools and 6 colleges in the city.
One thing about the schools will not
impress Kentuckians favorably.
Both negroes and whites are admitted
to them and are taught In the same
classes. There are 60 churches, all
denominations being represented.
Among the distinguished men who
live here are numbered Ex-senator
